38Egypt was glad of their going, *
because they were afraid of them.
39He spread out a cloud for a covering *
and a fire to give light in the night season.
40They asked, and quails appeared, *
and he satisfied them with bread from heaven.
41He opened the rock, and water flowed, *
so the river ran in the dry places.
42For God remembered his holy word *
and Abraham his servant.
43So he led forth his people with gladness, *
his chosen with shouts of joy.
44He gave his people the lands of the nations, *
and they took the fruit of others’ toil,
45That they might keep his statutes *
and observe his laws.
Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, *
for his mercy endures for ever.
2Who can declare the mighty acts of the Lord *
or show forth all his praise?
